Connecting with coworkers/manager in the beginning or the end of internship?

Our team is pretty small with about 10 to a dozen ppl.

They all got great experience and achievements (ex IB, PE, etc), they are essentially the ppl that I want to be eventually.

We just met for the first time (virtually), and I thought I should reach out to them on LinkedIn to connect as I believe network is part of the internship plus these connections can potentially open some doors in the future.

Ps: most of them are mid to late 20s, so there isn't much of a age gap.

The question is, should I do it now or wait till the end of the internship?

Aspernatur quis maxime quos est. Aliquam quia quia et eum saepe. Incidunt cum molestiae voluptatum voluptatem hic et. Voluptatem iusto saepe omnis perspiciatis est vel.

Just had my trade dispute rejected by Schwab for a loss of 35k. This single issue alone should be a gigantic red flag to anyone who trades on their platform. If they have a system error, and you do not video record your trading (they actually said this), they will not honour their fuck up. Switching everything away from them. Fuck this company.
